ITEM #8 CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 20, 2009 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: MARITZA TAPIA; INTERIM PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR SUBJECT: APPROVE RESOLUTION READOPTING THE CAPITAL PROJECT NEEDS ANALYSIS FOR FISCAL YEARS 2010/2011 THROUGH 2014/2015. DATE: OCTOBER 13, 2009 BACKGROUND: In November 1989, the San Bernardino County voters approved the passage of Measure I authorizing the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG), acting as the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority, to impose a one-half of one -percent retail and use tax. This tax revenue can only be used for transportation improvements and traffic management programs. The 1989 approved measure is set to expire on March 2010. However, in 2004, San Bernardino County voters authorized the extension of this tax, which will finance the Measure 1 2010-2040 programs.. The passage of this second measure will continue to provide the City with funds for maintenance of City streets and street infrastructure development. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The SANBAG Board of Directors approved the Strategic Plan on April 1, 2009. The Strategic Plan is the reference manual and policy document for the administration of Measure 1 2010- 2040 programs by SANBAG and its member agencies. On September 15, 2009, Council approved submittal of the following required documents for the Measure I Program: Capital Project Needs Analysis for Fiscal Year 2010/2011 through 2014/2015, Development Mitigation Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2008/2009, and a Local Street Program Capital Improvement Plan for fiscal years 2009/2010 through 2014/2015. Staff requests authorization to submit a revised Capital Project Needs Analysis, attached to this report as Exhibit A. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is a positive financial impact associated with the adoption of the attached resolutions as these are conditions for receiving the City's share of Measure I Funds, which is estimated at $3,641,925 over the next six years.

("CEQX) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. Approval of the plans attached to this agenda will not have an environmental impact.
